The Pew Research Center asked Americans who they thought did the best job as president in their lifetime. The top pick: former President Barack Obama.

Obama was the choice of 44 percent of the respondents in the poll, which was published Wednesday. Bill Clinton came in second with 33 percent and Ronald Reagan was third with 32 percent. Although not yet even halfway through his first term, President Donald Trump got 19 percent to place him in fourth place, ahead of both Bushes, John F. Kennedy and Franklin Delano Roosevelt.



According to Pew, Obama got 20 percent at about the same point in his presidency.

The survey was conducted from June 5-12 and 2,002 people were asked to give both their first and second choices. It has an error margin of 2.6 points.





Obviously, when someone lived is key to who they think was the best president of their lifetime. For example, of those who were alive during the Kennedy administration, about a quarter chose JFK.


Millennials (born 1981 to 1996) were the most likely to choose Obama, with 62 percent naming him as their first or second choice. Reagan was the top pick for Generation X (1965 to 1980), baby boomers (1946 to 1964) and the silent generation (1928 to 1945).

Unsurprisingly, party identification was very closely tied to a person's answer. Obama was the first or second pick of 71 percent of Democrats but only 13 percent of Republicans.

Reagan was the clear favorite among Republicans with 57 percent (12 percent among Democrats). Trump was the second pick for Republicans at 40 percent. Only 3 percent of Democrats named Trump.

They are probably the gay and and the transgenders..

what of BUHARI

Rrrr

How will people be fare in that judgement.

Most active Americans online were not born when Kennedy and many others were president. Of course they will vote Obama cos that's all they experienced not tales read in a book

First black president for that side
That is someone that rules and not cook the nation

like obj is our greatest president in Nigeria. take it or leave it. many investors here today, was here thru obj.

How can a man who's too scared to take a stand on matters of great importance be the greatest President. I beg to disagree.

No wonder China beat you on trade 24/7. If I must chose from a democrat however, Kennedy is my choice by far.

Here's the greatest President of my lifetime

True. A president with empathy and desire for world peace. Only the ignorant religious blacks think otherwise because of his stance on same sex marriage. Everything religion clouds our sense of reasoning and automatically pricks our fragile egos

rubbish

what were their basis of voting? Obama legalized sodomy on a land built on Christianity. That alone is a big minus.

Yes, he is the greates POTUS because he was a willing tool in your hands.
The mumu gave us guys pass to institutionalize gay marriage.

As erratic and unpreductable as he is, I see Trump topping this list one day if he can be more consistent in his policies.
Thank goodness the US Supreme Court finally gave the nod to his travel ban on MUDSLIMES.
